Abstract-Mobile devices, such as mobile phones and personal digital assistants, have gained wide-spread popularity and are part of the everyday life of billions of people. Today's mobile phones represent a rich and powerful computing platform, given their sensing, processing, social and communication capabilities. Empathy is the ability to identify with and understand another person's situation and feelings. Our ability to empathize affects how well we communicate our thoughts and feelings with others, how well we understand others, and how comfortable people feel communicating with us. Mobile devices have made a huge step in trying to cultivate empathy to people and different social groups through interesting applications.Keywords-mobile devices, mobile applications, empathy, social media, games, health, emotions, emotional/affective agents, elderly people, social change IntroductionMobile devices are shaping-up users' lifestyles by adding new dimensions to the concept of socializing, performing actions and forming new habits [1]. As summarized by Fogg and Eckles (2007) [2], "mobile phones will soon become the most important platform for changing human behavior". Oinas-Kukkonen (2008) [3] argues that ubiquitous information systems are shaping up the creation and dissemination of information in new ways hence creating opportunities to foster healthier lifestyle.Furthermore mobile applications which is software, developed to run particularly on mobile phones (smartphones) and tablet computing devices, have the potential to bring a new perspective to people's life in many sectors. The diffusion of mobile phones into our lives is an evidence of their popularity. The ever-growing liking and adoption of mobile phones (e.g. Blackberry, iPhone, Google Android, Nokia Windows Phone) is reflective of their mammoth potential to promote health and general wellbeing of users. Portability, continuous data streaming, advanced computing power and easy dissemination of applications give them an edge over other forms of iniJIM

Abstract. Affective applications are becoming increasingly mainstream in entertainment and education. Yet, current techniques for building such applications are limited, and the maintenance and use of affect is in essence handcrafted in each application. The Koko architecture describes middleware that reduces the burden of incorporating affect into applications, thereby enabling developers to concentrate on the functional and creative aspects of their applications. Further, Koko includes a methodology for creating affective social applications, called Koko-ASM. Specifically, it incorporates expressive communicative acts, and uses them to guide the design of an affective social application. With respect to agentoriented software engineering, Koko contributes a methodology that incorporates expressives. The inclusion of expressives, which are largely ignored in conventional approaches, expands the scope of AOSE to affective applications.

“…The specialized architecture Koko [27] provides a reusable and extensible environment, aiming at an enhanced user experience by linking independent applications. With our work we neither focus on human interaction with agents or the environment, nor are we exclusively interested in multiplayer and/or social games.…”

Abstract. Agents act and perceive in shared environments where they are situated. Although there are many environments for agents -ranging from testbeds to commercial applications -such environments have not been widely used because of the difficulty of interfacing agents with those environments. A more generic approach for connecting agents to environments would be beneficial for several reasons. It would facilitate reuse, comparison, the development of truly heterogeneous agent systems, and increase our understanding of the issues involved in the design of agent-environment interaction. To this end, we have designed and developed a generic environment interface standard. Our design has been guided by existing agent programming platforms. These platforms are not only suitable for developing agents but also already provide some support for connecting agents to environments. The interface standard itself is generic, however, and does not commit to any specific platform features. The interface proposal has been implemented and evaluated in a number of agent platforms. We aim at a de facto standard that might become an actual standard in the near future.
